Lyrics

0:03When she walked on down the street
0:13She was like a child staring at her feet
0:21But when she passed the bar
0:26And she heard the music play
0:31She had to go in and sing
0:36It had to be that way
0:41She had to go in and sing
0:45It had to be that way
0:50And I said no no no
0:54Oh Lady Day
0:59And I said no no no
1:04Oh Lady Day
1:39After the applause had died down
1:48And the people drifted away
1:55She climbed down the bar
2:01And went out the door
2:06To the hotel
2:09That she called home
2:13It had greenish walls
2:18A bathroom in the hall
2:22And I said no no no
2:32Oh Lady Day
2:46And I said no no no
2:52Oh Lady Day
When she walked on down the street
She was like a child staring at her feet
But when she passed the bar
And she heard the music play
She had to go in and sing
It had to be that way
She had to go in and sing
It had to be that way
And I said no no no
Oh Lady Day
And I said no no no
Oh Lady Day
After the applause had died down
And the people drifted away
She climbed down the bar
And went out the door
To the hotel
That she called home
It had greenish walls
A bathroom in the hall
And I said no no no
Oh Lady Day
And I said no no no
Oh Lady Day
